Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr.
Richard Alpert, an already eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic
pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary.

He had continued his psychedelic research until that
fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he

generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping free them
